Saruni Samburu

Witness the Elephant Migration

Saruni Samburu is located at the heart of the Kalama community Wildlife Conservancy, about four miles from the northern border of the Samburu National Reserve, a celebrated elephant sanctuary. Large herds of elephants cross Kalama in their migratory routes between the different conservancies in the area.
The lodge offers a first-class safari experience in a totally unspoiled environment, far from the beaten tracks but very close to the land operated by Saruni. There are six houses ( two of them are large family villas with two separate bedrooms each and two spectacular bathrooms), a large swimming pool with a dramatic view over Samburuland, and a waterhole that attract elephants, reticulated giraffe, zebra, oryx and all the species that make Kalama so special.
Activities include night and morning game drives in Kalama Conservancy, visits to the caves where, in the past, the Samburu have painted and carved rock art during meat eating feasts, professionally led game walks, bush dinners and stargazing. The traditions and semi-nomadic heritage of the local Samburu people are an important part of the experience. Led by professional Samburu guides, guests enjoy a new dimension of this rightfully popular region, the feeling of exclusivity, of having an incredibly large area totally to their own, and a high level of comfort and tailor-made service.

Night Drive

Off-Road Game Viewing

In national parks and some other reserves, rules prohibit leaving the designated safari paths. But the wildlife are not always considerate enough to stay nearby. Get better vantages (and better photos) by heading off-road.

Outdoor Dining

A lunch or dinner out in nature is one of the hallmarks of a luxury African experience. Your connection to the landscape is undisturbed and the food tastes even more special in this most wonderful of settings.
